Personal Quotes (8) The only time I ever had steady employment was in Peyton Place (1964). Once I was in control of my destiny, I found it very difficult.

I'm as moody and complex and private as anyone I ever knew. [on Barbra Streisand ] The most pretentious woman the cinema has ever known. [on Farrah Fawcett 's ongoing cancer battle] It's a love story. I just don't know how to play this one. I won't know this world without her. Cancer is an insidious enemy. I had just put the casket in the hearse and I was watching it drive away when a beautiful blonde woman comes up and embraces me. I said to her, 'You have a drink on you? You have a car?' She said, 'Daddy, it's me - Tatum!' I was just trying to be funny with a strange Swedish woman, and it's my daughter. It's so sick. [in Vanity Fair, admitting to propositioning a woman (who he was unable to recognize as his own daughter) at Farrah Fawcett 's funeral] [when asked how he would like to be remembered, 2011] He was a child to children and a man to men. [on Love Story (1970)] I didn't worry a lot about whether I was preparing enough for the part.

I'm not into study and research much. I just thought about it as a story about a man and a woman and I made sure I looked right. You know, the right scarf, the right sweater. If I could get a good director to choose me for a picture, I was okay. But they stopped calling me in the mid-70s ... I made a whole bunch of pictures that didn't make any money and people lost interest in me ... Directors take me reluctantly. I feel I'm lucky to be here in the first place and they know it too. I'm a glamour boy, a Hollywood product. I have a TV background and they can point to the silly movies I've made.

Salary (1) Ryan O’Neal’s Son Patrick Goes On NBC And Trashes The Today Show’s ‘Professionals’ | Mediaite Ryan O’Neal’s Son Patrick Goes On NBC And Trashes The Today Show’s ‘Professionals’ by Andrew Kirell | 1:25 pm, May 9th, 2012 VIDEO Los Angeles sportscaster Patrick O’Neal, son of troubled actor Ryan O’Neal, appeared on Access Hollywood Live Tuesday and blasted each of the Today Show’s “Professionals” panelists for their poor treatment of his father the previous week. The elder O’Neal has a history of alcohol and drug abuse, and was estranged from his three eldest children (actress Tatum, actor Griffin, and Patrick) for many years. The Today Show recently ran a segment featuring “the Professionals” panel, with the question: Is Ryan O’Neal a bad father? Patrick O’Neal came to his father’s defense: I’m real proud to say that Ryan O’Neal is my father. The thing that really upset me a little bit was … [the Today Show] did an episode [with] a panel of four people and there was a host.

And the subject was, big screen: Ryan O’Neal is a bad parent. Go. And then there was Kelly Osbourne saying “Oh, well, I can’t believe that he forgot his son [Redmond’s] name. That’s terrible. I went to school with Redmond.” I will argue that Ryan knows his son’s name. If you look back at the Matt Lauer interview, he said Redmond immediately after. My dad makes a joke about everything. When he was told he had stage-two cancer, he’s like “I live for the stage. Stage two, where are my lines? I’m ready to perform.” He continued on to tear into panelist Dr. Nancy Snyderman ‘s analysis of his family’s genetics: The next person spoke, Dr. Nancy. She says “Why does he have a band-aid on his nose first of all? And all of his children had tragic childhoods and all of his kids clearly have some sort of genetic disposition towards drug abuse.” Now I’m sitting going wait, just a second, I’ve had to deal with this my whole life.

O’Neal became emotional as he took issue with panelist Donny Deutsch ‘s thoughts on the elder O’Neal: I like Donny. I’ve watched the show and I know he’s worth, like, millions of dollars. And he’s sitting there and he’s like “Ryan O’Neal makes me want to puke. He should have his license taken away to be a parent. And i have no respect for the man.” Now, I sat there and I said you know what? You take my father’s license away for being a parent, I’m not here. [You take away] my kids, his grandchildren, my two beautiful daughters, my memories of my father who was my hero. View the full segment below, via NBC: Have a tip we should know? tips@mediaite.com Follow Mediaite stumbleupon About Ryan O’Neal American actor Charles Patrick Ryan O’Neal, Jr has an estimated net worth of $15 million.

Though his early career seemed to hold the promise of major stardom for actor Ryan O’Neal, matters didn’t pan out and he has become more famous for his long-term live-in relationship with 1970s poster girl-turned-movie star-of-the-week actress Farrah Fawcett than any of his ’80s and ’90s films. Still, O’Neal is an appealing actor and his clean-cut good looks and reddish- blond hair give him an exuberant boyishness that belies his age. His first major role was that of Rodney Harrington on the television soap opera Peyton Place (1964-1969). O’Neal is the son of screenwriter Charles O’Neal and actress Patricia Callaghan O’Neal. A California native, he spent much of his childhood living abroad.Born on April 20, 1941 in Los Angeles, California, US.

Looking at her website, the rest of her shows look like shit too by Anonymous reply 9 12/31/2010 Watching now, can Ryan be the most horrible man I have ever seen on TV? He throws his grandson out of his car and then is pissed with Tatum that she defends her son and not him? If ever there was a human that should not have been a parent it's him. by Anonymous reply 11 06/19/2011 Tatum O'Neal looks wonderful. She has three kids and has battled severe issues with drugs taking and drink for ages now. She really looks great and her voice is to die for. %0D %0D But...%0D %0D At what age did Ryan fuck her? I am thinking that he fucked her when she was right on the verge of her teenage years? What say y'all?

Poor Tatum...no wonder she has issues now by Anonymous reply 14 06/20/2011 [quote]She's admitted to the molestation, I find it odd and disturbing that she would go forward with the series. ...she must be really hard up. You probably should listen more carefully dear. She was molested by her father's drug dealer, not by her father. A point which she made clear again on Howard Stern last week. Ryan was pissed at Tatum on GMA last week. Tatum was on the Stern show the day before, and both Howard and Tatum pretty much ripped Ryan. Link to the first segment of their interview.

by Anonymous reply 15 06/20/2011 Since the show has probably finished filming and Tatum is doing interviews alone now, the reunion was probably not much of a success.%0D %0D Ryan O'Neal seems pretty much a waste as a human being. by Anonymous reply 16 06/20/2011 I agree with R9, the other shows listed seem really awful. There isn't a single one of them that I would even consider watching. And people wonder why the OWN channel isn't attracting viewers. Maybe if she had some decent shows people might watch. At least 4 of those shows are shows from Discovery Health, the channel she replaced because it had poor ratings. I'd rather have the Discovery Health Channel. by Anonymous He's going to be on Piers Morgan's show tonight. by Anonymous reply 18 06/20/2011 The Washington Post gave their reality show a scathing review. As well it should. I mean, who REALLY gives a fuck about Ryan and Tatum O'Neal, "two has-been actors", as the review called them? They're both disgusting human beings.

by Anonymous reply 19 06/20/2011 Ryan O'Neal is clearly mentally ill and Tatum grew up with that so she obviously had no chance. Marrying John McEnroe, who seems a few bricks short as well - or maybe he was just a spoiled brat from Queens- certainly didn't help her. Both O'Neals need the money that's why they're so busy selling their souls. by Anonymous reply 20 06/20/2011 I watched it last night. The relationship those two have borders on creepy. He's upset that she's mad at him for his treatment of her son? She's upset that he's grieving for Farrah, and not the relationship between the two of them? Why she would want to have a relationship with this guy is beyond my comprehension, but I'm guessing Harpo productions wrote the two of them a big fat check and that was it. Griffin O'Neal is the smartest one of the two. by Anonymous reply 21 06/20/2011 All she has is showbiz, and she keeps fighting for Hollywood to take her seriously as a bankable actress.

But you can still see the loony around the edges when she talks. She particularly dislikes anyone interrupting her, even though she's just blathering on in that Valley Girl way. She obviously has authority issues.%0D %0D Maybe it's time she found another career- besides begging rich ex McEnroe for money. by Anonymous reply 22 06/20/2011 I hope Piers makes him sweat. Ryan O'Neal doesn't look like he likes to be questioned too much. %0D %0D Gee, maybe he'll get pissed and walk off the show.%0D %0D Let the fun begin!%0D by Anonymous reply 23 06/20/2011 [quote]mean, who REALLY gives a fuck about Ryan and Tatum O'Neal, "two has-been actors", as the review called them?

At least The O'Neill's have accomplished something in their lives. by Anonymous They fucked and then she grew jealous of Farrah, right? Is that it?

%0D %0D by Anonymous reply 26 06/20/2011 I wonder what the real story is between her and Farrah? She said in her bio that Farrah took Ryan and moved to another house- leaving her and her brother Griffin to fend for themselves. But maybe they were just uber brats who made her life hell. Judging by Redmond, the insanity is clearly genetic. by Anonymous reply 27 06/20/2011 The dynamics of this family are insane. I think Tatum just has to be the center of attention; thus, the conflict with Farrah. These two people have no business even being in the same room together. Of course Ryan would choose Farrah over Tatum because we are talking about freakin' Farrah Fawcett here. Is Tatum really that stupid? by Anonymous reply 28 06/20/2011 Tatum gave a great interview to Piers Morgan. She handled herself quite well. The girl is talented. She deserves to be back in the movies.

%0D %0D I've liked Tatum ever since "Paper Moon" when she more than held her own opposite the great Madeline Kahn. by Anonymous reply 29 06/20/2011 I bet Ryan did fuck Tatum and here's why: when Tatum won the Oscar for Paper Moon, Ryan refused to attend the ceremony. He was acutely jealous of her success. I think he has sabotaged Tatum her whole life and by fucking her, he knew it would damage her forever. And because Tatum is so damaged and starved for parental affection, she would never have the ego strength to turn her back on him for good. I think he knew these vulnerabilities about Tatum and he fucked her accordingly. by Anonymous reply 30 06/20/2011 I know someone who took an acting class that Tatum was in years ago-he said she stunk to high heaven...she was terrific when she was 8 ...but she sure is a great actress on her reality show....when her talk show rounds plugging the book and tacky reality show end, she will be back trolling the streets of the lower east side looking for drugs again.

Shame on Oprah for putting this and alcoholic Fergie nonsense on. But I did love the rerun of Mask despite too many commercials- Cher was robbed of an Oscar for that one. by Anonymous reply 31 06/20/2011 R31 could you clarify. Did she stink as in she was a bad actress, or did she stink in the Cheryl and "MY PUSSY STINKS!" kind of way? by Anonymous R33 time to change your colostomy bag dear. by Anonymous reply 34 06/20/2011 R1 Exactly. I think they're both full of shit and just keep running with this love/hate fued for publicity. by Anonymous reply 35 06/20/2011 Allegra Huston (Anjelica's much younger sister, who lived with her during the 70s) had some interesting stories about living temporarily with the O'Neals when Anjelica briefly dated Ryan. If you google her you can find the stories, she put out a memoir a couple of years ago and did some interviews at the time.

Ryan sounds like an absolute nutjob and a terrible father. by Anonymous reply 36 06/20/2011 He appeared on Farrah sorry reality show too. He's out of work and would probably be on Abe Vigota's show if there was one. by Anonymous reply 37 06/20/2011 Reading this thread got me curious about where Tatum's mom was in all this. So, I googled. Pretty sad story! by Anonymous reply 38 06/20/2011 Griffin, Tatum, Redmund all drug addicts and all arrested for drugs. I don't think it was in the genes, it's called terrible parenting by a terrible person.%0D %0D There were some outrageous comments, here is one..%0D %0D Farrah got cancer because she had to deal with a family that was really fucked up. Even Piers was surprised by that comment.%0D %0D I think his kids are better without him around. by Anonymous reply 39 06/20/2011 I read that Ryan has a horrible temper. Did he hit Farah?

by Anonymous reply 42 06/20/2011 I was surprised to hear Ryan say that Farrah might be still be here today if the he and his kids had never come into her life. They created a stressful environment for Farrah that he feels probably contributed to her cancer and subsequent death. by Anonymous reply 43 06/20/2011 I notice that no one has addressed Ryan's anger issues. Maybe that will come out in the faux-therapy sessions on the show. I'd like to know what kind of childhood he had which would make him feel the need to beat the crap out of his son. Off-topic, but not really: PEYTON PLACE is one of the shows my Mom use to watch when I was very little so I have slight memories of it, but what I do remember is how beautiful Ryan O'Neal was and how popular his and Mia Farrow's characters were to the show. by Anonymous reply 44 06/21/2011 R44, I think his anger issues are/were related to drug use.

He just won't own up to any of it.%0D %0D And, yeah, I think he did drugs with his kids. by Anonymous reply 45 06/21/2011 [quote]At least The O'Neill's have accomplished something in their lives.... Please, don't ever defend Ryan O'Neal. He is a truly rotten person. I would never defend him, I agree he is horrible BUT we were talking about how Ryan and Tatum were at least famous for something, that being successful actors as opposed to the Kardasians and Jersey Shore morons who are famous and followed for nothing. But watching him on Piers Morgan he made some sense when at Farrah's funeral, which by the way, they weren't together anymore until she was diagnosed and Tatum said he tried to hit on her. He explained that as a child he would dance with her and ask silly questions as many daddy's do and he would ask, "Do you have a drink?", "Do you have a car?" "Do you have a boyfriend?". He said he repeated those words to her the first time he had seen her in years to show her he never forgot and apparently she did.

I thought it was kinda crappy of her to say he was hitting on her in front of the hearse. [quote]Farrah got cancer because she had to deal with a family that was really fucked up. Even Piers was surprised by that comment. Yeah well Ryan like to blame Tatum for perhaps Farrah getting Cancer, yet Tatum wasn't around when Redmond was a hardcore heroin addict. by Anonymous reply 46 06/21/2011 Anyone know what the story is with Ryan being estranged from his son Patrick? He grew up with his mother Leigh Taylor-Young - yet she is still on good terms with Ryan. BTW Patrick is a sportscaster and was married to Rebecca DeMornay. by Anonymous reply 47 06/21/2011 The man is unhinged. He kept telling Morgan that Tatum had a great childhood because she was a millionaire and had an Oscar! Obviously, he has no idea how to parent a child. by Anonymous reply 48 06/22/2011 Shoot.

In that interview Ryan did he said that Redmond wants to "join his mother" and he almost seemed to be happy about it more than anything. He said that his children and most especially Tatum could very well have caused Farrah's cancer. And so on and so forth. This guy is completely out of his fucking mind! Jesus. It is like he would murder them all if given a chance, but has just decided to drive them all to death mentally. What is he? On a lighter, more superficial note, Tatum looks incredible considering all that drug abuse ! by Anonymous 06/22/2011 He stole of one Fawcett's Warhols after her death! "The painting of Farrah Fawcett seen hanging over Ryan O'Neal's bed in a reality television show was, for most viewers, a sign of his enduring love for the late actress. But to beneficiaries of her will it was evidence that O'Neal was in possession of a $30million (%C2%A318.8million) Andy Warhol portrait that has not been seen since her death two years ago.

Warhol made two portraits of the actress in 1980, both of which were shown in the documentary Farrah's Story, which charted the Charlie's Angels star's courageous battle with cancer. Following her death on June 25 2009, at the age of 62, she left her entire collection of paintings to the University of Texas, where she studied art. However, it only received one of the Warhols." by Anonymous reply 51 06/23/2011 [quote]He said he repeated those words to her the first time he had seen her in years to show her he never forgot and apparently she did.

by Anonymous reply 52 06/23/2011 I have read Tatun's book and saw Ryan on Piers Morgan. Based on that, I believe that he did try to pick Tatum up at Farrah's funeral. %0D %0D But the part about Ryan and his kids (Tatum, Griffin, not Patrick) causing Farrah's cancer seems like the thoughts the thought of a washed-up 70 year old man who has too much time on his hands. by Anonymous reply 53 06/24/2011 I like Tatum, but both she and her father have major issues. Ryan is plain old crazy. by Anonymous Is Diana Ross going to make a suprise appearance on this show for old times sake? by Anonymous reply 69 07/01/2011 I agree I love Tatum's voice and there is something oddly beautiful about her, she is a little unconventional but you can't help looking at her. I know she is a fucked up gal but she seems to be trying at least, not meaning this show mind you but in her life. She seems to have a good relationship with some of her kids.

Acting wise she was really good in that TV movie about Bambi Bembenack or whatever her name was. I would like to see her make some sort of comeback. I wonder what her financial situation is like? by Anonymous There is nothing like a father's "love" for his daughter. by Anonymous reply 71 07/07/2011 There is a rumor that Tatum's daughter is gay and that Tatum is very supportive of her. NIce enough rumor if true, eh? %0D %0D I think Tatum could get work somewhere. She looks great and has a wonderful speaking voice. Someone should give her a shot in a little role on a t.v. show or some shit by now. All it would take would maybe be a sober couch on set or something, right? If she is truly half as healthy as she looks, an insurance company would surely work with her. by Anonymous r72 - Isn't she still on Rescue Me? by Anonymous reply 75 07/07/2011 The last two seasons of "Rescue Me" were filmed back-to-back a while ago.

From her imdb page, she's only done one thing (besides the reality show) since Rescue Me and doesn't have anything else lined up. r40 - Yes, there were all sorts of rumors about Ryan getting being physically abusive to Farrah. Andy Warhol joked about it in his diaries - Farrah had a broken arm or leg and everyone in their circle was sure it was "Hurricane Ryan" who'd caused it. Also, I believe Tatum claims that the night she won the Oscar, her dad hit her in the face or something like that.

And there were stories about she and Johnny Mac getting pretty violent with each other. by Anonymous reply 78 07/07/2011 If she can just hold out and put up with him, maybe Ryan will leave the Malibu beach house to Tatum and not Prince Harry.. by Anonymous [quote]they never really show Redmond full face....what is he hiding from the law? They can't afford to keep replacing lenses. by Anonymous reply 85 07/11/2011 What's the story with Ryan O'Neal and Tatum's mother? She was older and married twice before. Did he marry her for money/career? by Anonymous reply 86 07/14/2011 They cover that in the latest episode. This show isn't as bad as I figured and if anything is making Tatum seem like a bit of a troublemaker. She just can't let it go and really needs to keep digging. How she can expect serious introspection from a 70 year old man child is beyond me.

by Anonymous reply 87 07/15/2011 R86, he married and had children with her to prevent being drafted. At the age of 23, Ryan has two children with her. by Anonymous reply 88 07/15/2011 Did Farrah like Tatum? Farrah didn't really seem like someone who'd push her boyfriends kids away. She seemed kind of nice. by Anonymous reply 89 07/15/2011 Farrah alo seemed kind of airy, as in airhead. She was suuposed to be an actress, so I assume she was as self absorbed as any of them when she wasn't high. by Anonymous reply 90 07/15/2011 You can not blame Redmond's severe problems just on Ryan, Farrah was in the picture too. %0D %0D I hope for Tatum's sake, her hopes that her dad will change is just for the show, not real life. Seventy years old is not too late to make some adjustment, but Ryan is being very slow to understand how much change she wants.

by Anonymous how did Tatum's kids turn out? Did she even raise them much? by Anonymous reply 92 07/15/2011 Right, like she is really going to fix him. Sometimes you just have to smile and get along, my dad was verbally abusive and I didn't have much of a relationship with him. I saw him a couple of times a year, sucked it up and let him know when his behavior was bad but in general just kind of rolled with it. He's dead now and honestly it was a great relief. by Anonymous reply 93 07/15/2011 his great love of Farrah seems manufactured...weren't they apart for like 20 years and he just came back at the end? as Joan C. would say....."maybe he just needed a little publicity" by Anonymous where was Griffin when Ryan and Tatum were so close? was he with the mother? by Anonymous reply 95 07/17/2011 Last night on The O'Neals: during therapy, Ryan seemed vague and unaware of Tatum's very serious drug and alcohol problems.

He said that he did not read "A Paper Life," but friends told him about it. %0D %0D I forget. Did she not write about her addiction problems until this latest book?%0D %0D In a earlier episode, there was a phone conversation between Tatum and Griffin. He sounds great. Good luck to him and Redmond. by Anonymous reply 96 07/18/2011 She didn't have to write about her addiction problems since it was all over the tabloids and she talked about it on TV. She was also arrested for it.%0D %0D YES, it was in the first book.%0D %0D Ryan seems to want to re-write a lot of his history in this show. Especially how he treated women, like Tatum's mother. He ran around on her during the marriage and left her for pregnant wife #2. Then he was absent from Tatum and Griffin's lives. by Anonymous reply 97 07/18/2011 I agree that Tatum needs to figure out exactly what it is she wants from Ryan and tell him flat out. "I want a relationship." What does that mean exactly?

%0D %0D by Anonymous reply 98 07/18/2011 Tatum should cut her losses, throw out the garbage. She seems sincere about wanting to bridge something with daddy dearest. If he did rape her, then she should announce it, continue with therapy and get on with life. I wonder if she and McEnroe (sp) have an amicable relationship. I get sick of people playing with drugs and then they graduate to a real problem with subtances and then WE have to "be nice, be p/c" and call it an illness. %0D I remember reading that he gave her cocaine at a Hollywood party when she was 10! %0D %0D MY friend had to deal with Ryan, re: a delivery for Farah that was agreeed to be to be dleivered to the Malibu home at 7 AM. MY friend called at 7 saying he was 5 minutes late and he got the scolding of his life form Ryan "WHO THE EFF DO YOU THINK YOU ARE ? It went on for 5 minutes. H eleft the package at the door as instructed by Ryan (or he'd call the police...

ON A DELIVERY THAT FARAH NEEDED FOR A TRIP later that AM). All of this was PLANNED in advance! MY friend swears that Ryan's evil nature is what poisoned Farah. What we are seeing on this show is Ryan acting wonderfuly like a normal human being. Sad for all. I hope Tatum can retrieve herself and get work in H'Wood again or just be happy as a human being. That is success in itself. by Anonymous reply 100 07/19/2011 R100, if Tatum took your advice, there'd be no reality show. She's not taking your advice, duh. This is her (and Ryan's) job now. by Anonymous This is a great show. by Anonymous reply 102 07/19/2011 Tatum, especially young Tatum, pings to high heaven. I will be ready with my Uhaul when she is. Seriously, I really like her. Ryan is actually pretty funny too, but Tatum is a little dramatic.

by Anonymous reply 103 07/21/2011 I finally saw the show and both of them are acting so much you'd think they were trying to get Oscar noms. %0D %0D All of the make-up Ryan wears is distracting and the whole thing seems like a divorced couple getting back together. Tatum seems emotionally stunted (duh) and comes across like she's still a child. I can't imagine her raising any children. by Anonymous reply 104 07/21/2011 I enjoy the show as well. It's an odd dynamic between the two of them - as R104 says - like a divorced couple. It seems a bit incestuous or possessive, I'm not sure. You also do wonder what kind of mother Tatum was/is. She is an endearing person - there's something that makes you want to like her. I even find Ryan a bit affable, though he's a total shit and completely self-centered. He is what he is and makes no apologies for it. I can't really seem to hate him, though.

by Anonymous reply 105 07/21/2011 I agree, he is a true narcicist ( I know.. spelling), totally charming and self-centered. He can't really relate to the fact that he has children, he think of Tatum as just another one of his "women". I hope she has a career comeback, I like watching her. by Anonymous reply 106 07/21/2011 I think what Tatum's problem is she can't get over that her life is not perfect. Life is not like a movie. by Anonymous reply 108 07/23/2011 I have been watching this show also and because of that recently read Tatum's book "Paper Life". %0D %0D I know Tatum had an unstable childhood and a father who ignored her for his own self-interests or gave her attention by taking his anger out on her, but I can't figure out what type of closure she is looking from her father at this point in life. %0D %0D He was and is what he is and nothing is goign to change that.

%0D %0D Any Ryan O'Neal gossip? by Anonymous reply 109 07/23/2011 You kind of wonder if maybe Ryan abandoned Tatum at the age he did BECAUSE the relationship was getting a little weird. by Anonymous reply 110 07/23/2011 R103 It would not surprise me at all if she came out as a, cough, "late in life lesbian" or as bi.%0D %0D She has always pinged like the dickens. %0D %0D Even in the Piers Morgan interview she clammed up when he asked her if she was in a relationship. He asked things politely in that he did not specify what kind of relationship or anything. He did not say "boyfriend" or anything gender specific. That dude is a bit of a drag and all but he is rather smart and she was sitting there pinging right next to him and all. by Anonymous reply 111 07/23/2011 McEnroe is a major asshole but he virtually raised their kids single handedly while Tatum was fucked up on drugs.

Their prenup apparently left Tatum with very little money. He was no stranger to drugs either, reportedly a big coke fiend during his tennis playing days. by Anonymous 07/23/2011 Wait I can actually post?!? Thank the gay Jesus. I think Tatum is fine as hell, and she admitted to having more than one lesbian relationship in the past, in this interview with Howard Stern. She then goes on to assert 'I'm straight.' Who knows though, maybe she was trying to get Howard to stop pestering her about the lesbian stuff (seriously, is that all he ever talks about on his show?). Sorry this is long, but I want to say that I went to school with Tatum's younger son, and he is a troubled guy. I think he has anger issues but is very sensitive. He's also a pretty good actor and quite attractive. From what I've read in her books (and on Twitter if that's any indication), Tatum and her kids are very close. I really hope everything works out for her. And if she decides to test the gay waters again, I'll be all up on that.

by Anonymous 07/23/2011 R113 I appreciate your posting that very much. Her lesbian claims are on 'part two' over on the link R113 posted fellow lesbians. From what I (who is ESL) could infer she is either bi or not fully out of the closet. Was she linked to anyone at all after having divorced? by Anonymous Why did Farrah leave nothing in her will to Ryan O'Neal? by Anonymous reply 117 07/24/2011 Farrah not only left out Ryan in her will, but also her "best friend" Alana Stewert.%0D %0D Any gossip why? by Anonymous reply 118 07/24/2011 Whom do you believe?

If this article is representative, the younger one is an entitled rager like his dad & grandad. Which one did Ryan throw out of his car? by Anonymous reply 121 07/25/2011 I think it's pretty clear by watching the show, that Ryan O'Neal has some sort of substance abuse problem that's probably lasted for years.

Tatum's friend mentioned, "coke" in the first episode and Tatum hinted at drugs and violence, but it seems as if she's afraid of saying anything on camera.%0D %0D In the Vanity Fair article on Farrah, it stated that Redmond went to live with his father at the age of 12. Damn, that kid never had a chance. by Anonymous To #125: Actually, he was first famous on TV with Peyton Place.

Maybe he insisted he not be mentioned?

r164 - Redmond reportedly only participated in a really limited way after a lot of pressure from Ryan. He inherited his mom's estate, so I don't think he needs a paycheque. Plus he was ordered to a rehab program for a full year. No doubt Griffin needs the money, but I think he and his dad might be too genuinely combustible for Oprah. Plus he's sooooo rough looking. by Anonymous reply 170 08/26/2011 [quote]Patrick O'Neal is a lucky, lucky man. Leigh Taylor Young must be a saint to have raised a normal kid and get out while she could. I can't help but feel sorry for Tatum, Griffin and Redmond. It's a myth that being raised by Leigh Taylor Young was what mad Patrick O'Neal so normal. He spent a big chunk of his youth in boarding schools and lived with Ryan in his later teen years. Leigh was/is kind of space and was into a lot of new age/spiritual stuff that eventually cost her her life savings. Ryan ended up helping her out financially in the 90's.

by Anonymous Ryan O'Neal Ryan O'Neal Nationality: United States Executive summary: Paper Moon Before he was famous, Ryan O'Neal worked as a lifeguard and fought as an amateur boxer. He once served two months in jail for a fistfight. He broke into show business as a stuntman on a low-budget late-1950s syndicated TV series, Tales of the Vikings. His first speaking role came in an episode of The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, and his first fame came on the early-1960s TV western Empire with Richard Egan and Charles Bronson . He played one of the primary characters on the long-running prime time soap opera Peyton Place with Mia Farrow . His first movie was Elmore Leonard 's The Big Bounce with Van Heflin , and he was Oscar-nominated for the six-hanky weeper Love Story with Ali MacGraw . He earned good reviews as the rising young Irishman in Barry Lyndon with Patrick Magee , the scheming hustler in Paper Moon with his daughter Tatum O'Neal , and the bumbling professor in the near-perfect screwball comedy What's Up Doc? with Barbra Streisand .

His last successful film as a leading man was the boxing comedy The Main Event with Streisand in 1979. Through the 1980s his career stalled with, among other failures, the unfunny comedy Irreconcilable Differences with Shelley Long and 8-year-old Drew Barrymore and the heavy-handed drama Tough Guys Don't Dance with Isabella Rossellini . By 1991 he was back on television, co-starring in the sitcom Good Sports with his longtime lover Farrah Fawcett . In his most recent film he played Jamie Kennedy 's exasperated father in the hip-hop comedy Malibu's Most Wanted. O'Neal's father was Charles "Blackie" O'Neal, a novelist and screenwriter who wrote the film adaptation of I Love A Mystery starring Nina Foch and the complicated but scary The Seventh Victim starring Tom Conway . Later in his career he wrote for TV's The Untouchables. His mother was actress Patricia O'Neal, who worked mostly on stage but had small roles in Rosemary's Baby and What's Up, Doc?, and should not be confused with Oscar-winner Patricia Neal .

O'Neal's first wife was actress Joanna Moore, best remembered for a supporting role in Orson Welles ' classic Touch of Evil with Charlton Heston and The Last Angry Man with Paul Muni , but her career faded into alcoholism after their divorce. His second wife was Leigh Taylor-Young , O'Neal's co-star on Peyton Place and in The Big Bounce, and more recently seen as Katherine Barrett Crane on the steamy soap Passions. Though they never married, his longest romantic relationship was with Fawcett. She left him in 1997 after 18 years when she discovered he was having an affair, but they reconciled after O'Neal was diagnosed with leukemia on his 60th birthday. He has since recovered from the disease, and cared for Fawcett until her 2009 death from cancer. His brother Kevin O'Neal was an actor, mostly in small roles on TV shows and bit parts in films, until leaving the business in the mid-1970s.

His son Griffin O'Neal was also an actor, with featured roles in such cinema as Assault of the Killer Bimbos and Ghoulies III: Ghoulies Go to College, until quitting in the early 1990s. Another son, Patrick O'Neal, is still an actor, most recently seen in a supporting role in Wild Hogs with Tim Allen . Oscar-winning Daughter Tatum O'Neal has resumed her acting career since her divorce from tennis star John McEnroe , but she is estranged from her father, claiming that he beat her when she was a child.

Tatum O’Neal’s sad, twisted family affair | New York Post Tatum O’Neal’s sad, twisted family affair Tatum O'Neal has struggled with addiction since she was 14, and now her son, Kevin, is dealing with his own drug bust. Getty Images MORE FROM: Feminists' mom-shaming of Kellyanne Conway is out of control Like mother, like son. Back in 2008, I talked with a woman who had hit rock bottom. You think you have bad hangovers? This lady had just spent a night on a greasy mattress in a fetid Manhattan holding cell, lying next to a couple of “very nice” ladies you would not want to touch without the protection of a hazmat suit. She was destroyed. Desperate. She was Tatum O’Neal, the former child actress who had spent years hooked on heroin, sobered up, and then one day decided to score crack and cocaine from a drug-addicted panhandler on a downtown street. She had money and fame, and she acted like a common junkie. And she was busted. “I’m still sober!’’ Tatum O’Neal told me triumphantly shortly after getting sprung from jail.

“Just when I was about to change that, wreck my life, the cops came and saved me!’’ She was “eternally grateful’’ to the cops of the Lower East Side’s 7th Precinct who arrested her. “I didn’t do what my disease [drug addiction] was telling me to do. “I’m still going to get my year [of sobriety].’’ Kevin McEnroe leaves court Wednesday.Steven Hirsch She told me she lost it after her dog died and she took a “little break’’ from her boyfriend. You call your best friend when life deals you tedious problems. Tatum O’Neal runs to the corner drug dealer. She avoided jail time by pleading guilty to disorderly conduct and agreed to attend two half-day sessions in a drug treatment program. The case was dismissed. And now, as it happens, history has repeated itself. Tatum O’Neal leaves court in 2008.Steven Hirsch Tatum’s oldest son with former tennis player John McEnroe, 55, was busted as he tried to score drugs.

Kevin McEnroe, 28, was buying six bags of cocaine, 10 OxyContin tablets and 20 morphine pills in New York’s Alphabet City from a drug dealer, sources said. Why did this young man, allegedly, and his now-50-year-old mother — people with money and famous names — attempt to score garbage? Was it a quest for cheap thrills? A walk on the wild side? Tatum O’Neal called the 9th Precinct on Wednesday morning, desperately trying to find her son, according to sources. McEnroe with dad, John McEnroe in NYC in 2011.Patrick McMullan Did she know? This should make for a tense Labor Day celebration in the McEnroe and O’Neal households. Tatum O’Neal became the youngest person ever to win an Oscar, taking homes a Best Supporting Actress statue at the age of 10 for her role as Addie in 1973’s “Paper Moon,’’ a movie that also featured her father, Ryan O’Neal.

A drug user since age 14, she was once so addled that she lost custody of her three kids to McEnroe in 1995, after divorcing him a year earlier following eight years of marriage. She wrote of her young life with an alcoholic mother in her 2004 memoir, “A Paper Life.’’ In her 2011 memoir, “Found: A Daughter’s Journey Home,’’ she talks of seeking forgiveness from her kids and her father — who admitted in Vanity Fair magazine that he tried to hit on his own daughter, whom he didn’t recognize, after the 2009 funeral of his wife, actress Farrah Fawcett.
